That's really enough reasons, but the arguement is useless. Nothing will offer a mid to large businesses what they want at a reasonable price except running BOTH. It dosent suprise me that 25% of businesses are switching, but it dosent say they are jumping off the deck of the SS Microsoft. It just turns out to be more cost effective to offload some of the work onto cheaper Linux machines.
wow, what a great deal, I get to pay for service AND pay for games. Kinda like buying HBO and then paying to watch movies on it. Sorry, but monthly fees aint happening in my house.
I love it. The russians shamefully admit the atrocities that the soviets unleashed on their own people, yet there are STILL ideological communists in the world. Where is your social justice now comrades? China? hah.
Microsoft is on the desktop of almost every company in america. Not allowing your students to know and understand the prevalant technology and forcing on them a poor substitute is short changing them. It is his RESPONSIBILITY to make sure that his students learn a good theoretical background in their subjects, but also to be prepared for the work force. Servers, pro-level workstations, etc, *nix is probabally better anyhow. Forcing non-standard stuff on students is counter-productive.
If a religious group showed up and said that they would donate 10 million if every student would be forced to write "by the grace of god(/allah/vishnu/whatever)I write this paper on (whatever)" How would you feel then? If they want to donate the money and earmark it for something specific, FINE, but this ammounts to bribery and is NOT for the betterment of the school, which HAS to be the first priority.
If the USA don't do it, somebody else will. China is investing billions in biotech. Do you want to go up against a billion chinese supermen warriors?
I personally want to be a superuser/administrator of my own body. If I have to reverse engineer / hack it to do so, I will. There is no reason that I should have to work out to be strong. I shouldnt have to be born a certain way to be smart. You go ahead and keep your Dell of a body. When "Human Kernel 2.0 STABLE" comes out, I'll be first in line to download.
The system is in fact worth quite a bit more than squat if the two or three missiles it hits are headed to your hometown. A dozen of these bad boys hitting 12-20 missiles saves millions of lives. While one is in fact too many to get through, it's better than 2, or 300.
You see, the US military can afford to keep several ABLs in the air 24 hours a day in the event of hightened alert. Scramble time is much less of an issue.
In addition, a nuclear launch site situated in say, North Korea, is under eye in the sky monitoring at all times. When they go on alert, so do we. If the missile has to go 5000 miles, we've got a pretty good lead time on it as medium range ballistic missiles arent really going all that fast.
the third part is a deterent. If you are going to nuke somebody, you hit them hard. If they can retaliate, then you're screwed. If they can shoot down your missile, shooting it off in the first place was accomplished nothing and made you the biggest target in the world.
YOU dont have access to I2, but that dosent mean that you arent benefitting from it. Many of the new technologies on good ol' I1 are direct results from I2 research. That's what it is, a research testbed.
A large scale network does not have to be a homogenous environment. Allowing teaching computers and desktops unfettered access is one thing, but there is NO EXCUSE for not locking down any computer on which sensitive information is stored, up to the point of whitelisting individual connections with secure authentication. Running into administrative problems means you go over their head to the president, regents, state dept of education, FBI, whatever. If they dont like it, resign. It's better to be out of a job than have a major, preventable security problem on your resume.
You know, I read this, and It's just not making sense to me. Certainly there is a lot of quality research going on in other countries, but I very seriously doubt that there are any four countries that together outspend the US.
The winning research formula of the Japanese is product development from international discoveries. Can you name more than one major Japanese scientific breakthrough. From a research perspective, they are perpetually 5-10 years behind as they are working on making the research useful. I dont know much about Europe.
It truly amazes me that a NAS producer dosent have a tremendous quantity of custom software for windows. Actually, it amazes me that ANY business could switch platforms corporate wide without having to rewrite everything. I'm sure a Lot more people would switch to ANYTHING but windows if they could.
I guess you're right. I had better go ask microsoft if I can pay them for hotmail, (.mac anyone) or beg them to take my money for a fragmented MEDIA PLAYER. (ilife ishould ibe ifree) I guess I could beg microsoft to make applications I use, or, OH WAIT A SEC, there's quality third party software for windows, and I dont have to pay microsoft ANYTHING or ask their permission.
My point is,.mac isnt all that different in conccept from.net, except that people MIGHT actually find it useful, and palladium isnt in anything I have ever bought, and NOBODY CAN FORCE IT ON ME, because x86 isnt a CLOSED PLATFORM.
And what precisely has apple done in the last twenty years that ever made you think that they got it? Maintaining a closed platform, charging double for comparable hardware, or charging their loyal customers for email? I'm dying to hear this.
The part you are missing is that it's the government's JOB to secure national infrastructure. While it's great that the private sector also took up the call, there is a DEFINITE NEED for an authoritative governmental coordination of things like patches. SQL Slammer propagated because sysadmins didnt patch, so the old system is obviously FLAWED. Perhaps government participation will convince lazy sysadmins that problems are real.
In addition to the fragmented, poorly organized layout of this article, a couple of glaring mistakes jumped out at me.
When he talks about Longhorn, he states that "all software will have to be re-written" but that's not true at all. As long as the APIs retain backwards compatibility, most programs should adapt to the new file system just fine. Some sophisticated tools may need to be redone from scratch, but hey, making an omlette requres breaking eggs.
He also says some crap about having to pay a fee to microsoft to transfer files from a CD to your hard drive, because it is a database transfer. This to me just dosent sound right. CDFS isnt changing for the rest of the life of CDs. (I hope) CDs will always have files on them. Unless microsoft is adding value to something, they cant charge for it. Even Microsoft bashers dont accuse MS of this.
The third thing is that "I find it probable Longhorn will largely end the use of reliable, low cost servers (Linux, NetWare) for Windows users. This will set the stage for serious increases in licensing costs for already costly Windows server software." How would microsoft's desktop OS possibly effect how people use low end servers running Linux or (???) Netware?
This is an interesting summation, but the tabloid writing makes it not worth reading.
What was the last thing that Dell innovated? They get on board of every industry group and use the products of that group, but they NEVER contribute anything. All the other majors drop big coin on R&D, but not Dell. That's why they make so much money. Licensing is cheap compared to research.
Well, as if you weren't enough of a troll, the only real medical condition associated with the chernobyl accident is thyroid cancer/dysfunction within 100 km of the plant.
Slipshod research has come up with lots of claims on both sides, and statements about blood pressure, radioactive urinem and eye abnormality are compared to healthy US citizens, not healthy russian citizens.

WHEN WE HAVE NO CHOICE
I'm such a troll.
Fuel Cells will premiere next year...In Duke Nukem Forever as the new pipe bomb. We of course will never have to worry about this.
You're making the assumption that all people go to school to learn computers. I was a geographer.

That's a Damned LIE. You take that back!

Are these cartridges refilled or disposable? If so, do they need toxic handling like Alkaline batteries?
Yes, but where do you get fuel from? I get power from a socket.
So I need to REFILL my laptop EVERY 5 HOURS on battery? I'll stick with my 6 hour transmeta.
